Topology based energy efficient routing using integration of fuzzy based markov chain cluster‐optimized novel ant bee colony approach in FANET

Abstract

Summary Flying adhoc network (FANET) is a rapidly flourishing technology in recent years which has an excellent scope of growth in the to the improvised mobility and the frequency changing topology FANETs are considered as a challenging technology to design an optimal network model. This problem is fixed with the topology based routing technique. Hence a novel hybrid clustering algorithm where fuzzy based Markov chain cluster (FMC2) is integrated with the optimized novel ant bee colony (ONABC) optimization algorithm (IoFMC2‐ONABC). This algorithm demonstrates an improvised efficiency with the novel ant bee colony algorithm. The proposed model simulation is done in an NS‐2 simulator and results are compared against the existing conventional approaches like adhoc on‐demand distance vector, efficient intelligent packet broadcasting protocol, energy‐efficient routing in flying ad hoc networks, and energy‐efficient gray wolf. This method aims at achieving improvised connectivity, optimizing the power consumption thereby increasing the residual energy augmenting the performance efficiency of the network through selection of the proper cluster center during each transmission. Thus the energy consumption of the node was optimized to 7.6 J with the highest packet delivery ratio of about 85.15 ensuring minimal packet losses during huge data transmission.
